Once you have appended your data, do this:

$("your-table").trigger("update"); 
var sorting = [[0,0]]; 
$("your-table").trigger("sorton",[sorting]);

This will let the plugin know it has had an update, and re-sort it.

The complete example given in the doc:

$(document).ready(function() { 
    $("table").tablesorter(); 
    $("#ajax-append").click(function() { 
         $.get("assets/ajax-content.html", function(html) { 
             // append the "ajax'd" data to the table body 
             $("table tbody").append(html); 
            // let the plugin know that we made a update 
            $("table").trigger("update"); 
            // set sorting column and direction, this will sort on the first and third column 
            var sorting = [[2,1],[0,0]]; 
            // sort on the first column 
            $("table").trigger("sorton",[sorting]); 
        }); 
        return false; 
    }); 
});
